Bill was a graduate of Central Catholic High School in San Antonio. His love story with Linda, his lovely wife, began 47 years ago while attending college. While raising his children he also served as PTA president, volunteered his time coaching, and served as the baseball booster club president at Arlington Lamar High School. Bill was a devout Catholic and had a strong passion for helping in the church and in the community. Over the past several years Bill dedicated his time to the Knights of Columbus as a fourth-degree knight, serving two years as grand knight, as well as holding several other offices. The love he had for his family and friends was apparent, as he never missed a moment to celebrate special occasions or spend time with his grandchildren. Bill was a very strong man who taught us many valuable lessons about love and character. He will be greatly missed by his family and so many dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Gertrude Pavliska Sr.
Survivors: Wife, Linda Pavliska; children, Leslie Sailer and her husband, Ray, J.B. Pavliska and his wife, Jeanie, and Josh Pavliska; sister, Jan Collins and her husband, Gill; grandchildren, Nicole, Kaitlyn, Kallin, Dominick and Kinsler (on the way); great-grandchild, Julia; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

To Linda and the family of Mr Pavliska, please accept my heartfelt condolences in the unexpected passing of Bill. I did not have the remote idea that it would have been my last time seeing and taking care of him a week or so ago. As sick as he was, he was kind, pleasant, jovial and a very nice patient. I will miss him dearly.
To you Linda, your untiring devotion, love and loving care were inspiring and did not go unnoticed. You were blessed to have each other. I can’t think of any words that might bring comfort to you and the children, however he is not suffering anymore. He is resting in peace.
God will give you all the strength comfort and peace through this difficult journey . I am very blessed and grateful to have gotten to know you and Bill. God’s love and care be upon each of you.
